"I wonder if the axles should be heavier and tires J rated..or is that standard now?"

Assume you have the 16" wheels/tires and 7k axles? I have upgraded my wheels and tires to 17.5" and have not had a problem with them for 5 seasons. My axles are still 7k, but not too worried about them--have less than 14000lbs on them. The wheel/tire upgrade is simple, just takes money...
